Initially, I thought it wasn't possible to ship to the USA. That was confusing a little bit. Maybe it was caused by privacy settings in the browser.

Sonarworks, ever since the beginning of Reference studio, has been a life changer for me. I've converted so many friends to it that I have a harder time finding someone who doesn't use it than someone who does. Couldn't be able to recommend it more.

It was kind of difficult to buy from the US, due to the interaction between the main Sonarworks site and the Sonarworks US store. Activation was also a tad confusing, but I got it sorted out.

From the moment I landed on their website, I was impressed. The user interface is clean, intuitive, and easy to navigate. I was able to quickly search for the products I needed, thanks to their well-organized categories and search function. What really caught my attention was their trial option. It's not often that you come across a company that's confident enough in their product to let you try before you buy. This gave me the chance to test out their product and see if it was the right fit for me - and spoiler alert, it was! The purchasing process was a breeze. No hiccups, no issues with my bank, just a smooth and straightforward transaction. It's clear that Cakewalk Sonar has put a lot of thought into their customer experience, and it shows. But the standout experience for me was their post-purchase service. After my purchase, I received emails from Cakewalk Sonar checking in on me. They wanted to know how I was finding the product and if I had any issues. This level of customer care is rare these days, and it really made me feel valued as a customer. In conclusion, my experience with Cakewalk Sonar has been nothing short of excellent. From their user-friendly website to their top-notch customer service, they've truly exceeded my expectations. If you're in the market for high-quality music software, I highly recommend giving Cakewalk Sonar a try. You won't be disappointed! Happy music making, Nick

I bought the headphone calibration software and I feel like my mixing has improved drastically! Definitely do not regret spending 99€ for it!

Soundworks Sound ID Reference for Headphones has been a revelation for me, moving from a dedicated studio to mobile mixing and mastering. I opted for a trial and the process to purchase and apply a license was quick and straight forward. I was up and running in literally minutes and have not looked back. Thank you.

Within the first hour of having Sonarworks SoundID Reference, I said out loud, I cannot live without this. It has dramatically taken the guesswork out of making music. I can actually hear what I'm doing. Furthermore, the installation, buying process and free trial were all entirely seamless. Big up Sonarworks.

Sonarworks changed my way of producing music. The Sonarworks products are clearly hyper-professional without losing ease of use for the customer. Shopping on the website is done in a snap, as well for the software as the hardware (headphones). After buying as a business I had to ask about the VAT, which was answered very fast and credited immediately. Maybe I missed the VAT option during the buying process, or maybe not. During the years I had only a few technical issues after updating to a higher OS for example and the technical support was quick and accurate although during production processes I always get a little annoyed when software is not immediately working seamlessly. But maybe I have to plan my updates and upgrades better in between production times and not expect the digital world ever to be like the analog one of the past. Another thing I enjoy with Sonarworks is the articles and blogs about mixing with all kinds of tips and tricks that are worth reading: some are just confirmation and some are helping to get actual new insight into other producers' workflow. Great stuff. One thing I regret with Sonarworks is the missing option to expand a stereo measurement with just two subs, now I need to upgrade to the full Atmos-multiple-surround package that I do not need. I won't be needing 7+ speaker measuring any time soon or in the far away future is my guess. But I definitely recommend Sonarworks to all my fellow studio colleagues, after thorough acoustical treatment of course, for sure!

Shopping experience was super easy, everything i needed was on the website. Any information about the products I needed were also on the website (very easy to find youtube reviews as well). Have no experience with the support centre since I didn't need to contact them.

Sonarworks gets the better out of my speakers and headphones every time! The extra few steps to get that experience from okey to great!

As a multi-instrumentalist with a modest home project studio, SoundID Reference has made a noticeable improvement in my ability to mix with confidence. My room is treated with some homemade acoustic panels, but even with the panels, there is still some comb filtering and issues with the low end. When I engage the calibrated profile for my room, the low end is more clear, and I am able to hear more detail in the high mids. I qualifed for the Educational license for this software and the application process went smoothly.

After acoustic room treatment, this was the best solution for my recording/mixing environment.

Sonarworks makes great products and are very helpful when it comes to enquiries. I requested an education license for SoundID Reference for Headphones and received it less than 24 hours later and completed my discounted purchase with no issues whatsoever.

Used my education discount to upgrade to Reference. Process of being certified was smooth and quick. Upon buying the upgrade finding the files was easy and the videos helped with the authorisation stage. Once all set up loading my headphone profiles was easy and now my version of Sonarworks is future proof.

The information provided at Sonarworks unfortunately only insufficiently allows to make an objective assessment of the extent to which the Sonarworks calibration target can serve as a reference. Objective boundary conditions to the statistical surveys are very vague or are not disclosed. So the only option left is to form your own subjective judgment, which in my case turned out convincingly as a subjective improvement. However, this is still not sufficient to recognize it as a reference. I am of course aware of the difficulties to objectify psychoacoustic correlations, since they are always subjective, but had hoped for more in methodological terms. Thus, it remains only a longer practical trial with the critical user. The handling of the individual headphone calibration is uncomplicated. However, there was an information leak during delivery in Riga, so Sonarworks first had to be informed by me that my shipment was ready for pickup.

I sent my Audeze LCD XC 2021 to Sonarworks for individual calibration and I am very happy with the result. Now my headphone mixes translates very well to different soundsystems. Excellent customerservice and fast handling. I highly recommend the Individual calibration service by Sonarworks!

I could not calibrate my speakers and the app kept crashing, a waste of money

The process of trying to buy a licence was ever so slightly convoluted, other than that it was good, information available was good and the trial period was helpful.
